GDT: G8: MIN @ DET - 6 PM Central

[Webster]

Lot of weird plays from the defense early. Gustavsson looks extremely shakey. Bad rebound control. Can't find pucks. Going to need to score 4 or more tonight I predict.

What are you talking about? Gus has been fine on the 4 shots he's stopped.

 

[Wabit]

There was the 1 skill play a game you'll get from Freddy G.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Disagree, he looks brutal.

Disagree. He looks no different than Fleury has in previous games so far.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

He's made saves, but he doesn't look confident and has been coughing up pucks into danger areas. He's not locating pucks through traffic either. We'll see who is right.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Spurgeon with the hops.

I'll take that.

Spugeon nice airmail haha

He hasn't seen action for quite a while. So far, he's making the important saves. Cut him some slack.

I'm not liking some of the chances our defense is giving them at the moment.

Nice save on Raymond

I said the defense looks shakey. I hope he does better, just commenting on what I've seen so far.

To be fair, both of our crease monkeys are a bit dramatic.....flopping around like Manny Fernandez.

I loved Manny Fernandez

I loved Manny Fernandez

Those were the days. He has completely disappeared off the radar.

 

[Sad People]

2 bad TOs by Middleton.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Those were the days.

Unfortunately, I never got to see good Roloson play for the Wild. Started watching in 2005-06. Felt like every time he played that year the Wild lost.

Edit: Ah, his record was 6-17-1 that year. So I am not entirely wrong.

 

[AKL]

Oh my Rossi-Boldy

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I'll jump into the 'the goalie has been fine' group.

Team defense looks more like the first 3ish games than the recent ones.

 

[Wabit]

This is just sloppy hockey.

 

[AKL]

Middleton has had better games

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

This is just sloppy hockey.

Entertaining though.

Was just thinking that....shades of the first few games. Difference so far is Gus is making the saves.

Edit: nevermind.

Too many chances for Detroit.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

I like Shaw. Rossi with a nice little puck battle win and dish to Boldy in front for a solid chance.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Balls.

 

[AKL]

Yeah you could feel that one coming

Puck luck. 2 posts where he was beat and we're singing the same tune as the first 3 games as Gustavvson has given up 3 goals.

 

[Webster]

What a mess
